Two couples in our party. One had a room at the front, and one at the rear of the hotel. We all had sleepless nights due to noisy traffic most of the night at the front and barking dogs at the rear. There seemed to be a pack with one starting off all the others.
The Dakar is slightly out of the centre, so we thought it would be a little quieter - not so. However, in it's favour, it is within a 10 -15 minute walk of the main square, shops and restaurants. We would not stay here again, and in fact left after two nights, although we had pre-booked three.
